OLIVEIRA, Marisa Augusta de e OLIVEIRA, Simone Santos. The hero’s human face: analyzing firemen’s health-disease process based on virtual communities. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2020, vol.24, e190252. Epub 24-Out-2019. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.190252. Few studies deal with military firemen’s work/health relationship in national literature, among which many focus only on pathological indicators and/or physical consequences, not discussing their health and life needs at work. Aiming at analyzing this relationship under a wider, humanized perspective of heroes, an exploratory and methodologically innovative study was conducted in two industry blogs. Invisible or socially little known realities concerning the investigated group’s work process were unveiled, such as precarious labor conditions, illnesses, role deviation, humiliation, and dissatisfaction. These realities show the need

Suicide is a serious public health problem that causes high emotional, social and economic costs to the patient, the family and the health services. This study aimed to conduct a narrative review of the literature on comprehensive care, intersectoral action and healthcare, attempting to articulate these terms to suicide prevention and to the treatment of people with suicidal behavior. Although these terms are consensually used in Brazilian public health policies, there still is a large distance between theory and practices that continue to reinforce a hospital-centered, biologist and

Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2019, vol.23, e170803. Epub Apr 04, 2019. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.170803. Global Mental Health authors advocate on the one hand, for increased access to mental health care, including the use of standardized interventions. On the other, patients’ symptomatic expression of emotional distress hampers its identification by Primary Care professionals in Brazil. This affects the provision of care and demands culturally sensitive approaches.

Epub Sep 12, 2019. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.190140. The Zika virus epidemic, which was treated as a national and international public health emergency during a specific period, gave rise to unusual measures, which claims for a more detailed analysis, especially the recommendations given by the Brazilian Ministry of Health in the website “Combate Aedes ”. In this work, we analyze those recommendations employing the Collective Mindsets Analysis method. The recommendations targeted at health professionals and general public fail due to not clarifying the characteristics of the most vulnerable population, compromising its applicability. The
